It's Friday evening in Chicago, and people all over the city are looking for a bit of a challenge, or at least something to occupy their time for a while.

Ananya Chinnamalai strides down the front steps of the Field Museum, her high heels clicking on the marble steps. She mutters as she tugs at a dangling diamond earring, readjusting it and ( Read more... )

It's Saturday night, and as befits a good old Saturday night, the Luna bar is hopping. The bar's near capacity, and it seems anyone and everyone has turned up, whether to just enjoy a drink or three or for more secretive purposes.

Ah, Chicago. Such a huge city, with so many people, that the same dramas can't help but be played out time and time again. Sometimes, even within the same day. Today's flavor seems to be "when worlds collide."

[OOC: The epic. Let me show you it. Tag as much as you want with as many characters as you want. I'm crazy.]

9am: Elizabeth Jules has decided it's a good thing she started training with Aaron Barnam. Not that she expected to be assaulted by an undead wanderer on the sidewalks of Chicago three weeks after training started, but she's not dead, yet ( ( Read more... )

Night has fallen upon Chicago, and in the cool, muffled darkness that settles over the city, four very disparate people have turned Grant Park into a proving ground of sorts. Each of them, for their own reasons and in their own ways, have come face to face with their true natures, and have set about testing themselves.

Bruce Wayne is near the ( Read more... )

[[Crap, I've fallen behind on these. Stupid Real Life issues. If you need a new post in the future, and I haven't put one up, ask me please ( Read more... )

If you're well-off enough to be a power shopper, the Magnificent Mile--about a mile's worth of Michigan Avenue between the Chicago River and Oak Street--is just that: magnificent. High-end retailers from all over the world, with boutiques at street level. High-rise indoor malls. Hundreds of ways to be parted from rather a lot of your money ( Read more... )
